PAS 541 - Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics I

2 hours
Initially, major principles of drug pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics will be reviewed, followed by an introduction to pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics. A framework for understanding the major classifications of therapeutic agents will be introduced, including: their mechanisms of action, dynamic and kinetic properties, uses, side effects, and toxicities. Pharmacologic patient safety is a major concern and will include a student understanding of the concept of age-drug interactions, disease-drug interactions, and drug-drug interactions. Students will also become familiar with prescription writing and the laws governing this privilege in Illinois.  Offered every spring semester
